After following talent in this part of the country for more than 44 years, I have not taken it for granted when it comes to the level of play we have and the elite athletes who pass through on the way to the next level.

Just like the classes of 2014, 2013 and the dozens before them, the Class of 2015 is upholding the prospect-rich area.

This is a class as we usher in another promising offseason that will leave a mark in the collegiate and professional ranks.

This is a class with football players who have been leading since they put on that first uniform. Highly prized prospects such as Plantation American Heritage quarterback Torrance Gibson, running back Jordan Scarlett (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), Miami Central receiver Da’vante Phillips, Hialeah Champagnat Catholic receiver Steven Claude and Miami Northwestern receiver Jovon Durante.
